Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It is evident that this statutory provision requires, as an element of the offense that it describes, proof of a result that is separate from and additional to its actus reus component. In order to establish the offense charged, it was incumbent on the state to prove more than Wheat's knowing act of keeping Crystal in Ari zona. The state was required to show that, as a direct result of Wheat’s conduct, Crystal’s mother was deprived of the lawful custody of her daughter — in other words, that Crystal was kept “from a lawful custodian.” It is this prohibited result, rather than the proscribed conduct per se, that is the gravamen of the offense and it is precisely this result that occurred in Alaska.”
